Growing up Cinderella was my favorite of the pre-renaissance
princess films. The mice really help
carry the movie, keeping things active and interesting, especially for a young
boy. Cinderella is also the most
interesting of the three original princesses.
She’s much more proactive than Snow White or Aurora. She tries to stand up to her step-mother
several times. The step-mother may not
have evil magical powers, but she’s imposing nonetheless.
Still, for me, it really feels like it’s the supporting cast
that keeps thing really interesting. The
mice, the king and grand duke and even the step-sisters are all amusing to
watch. Cinderella may be the title
character, but it’s the rest that really give the movie form.
Although Cinderella ranks low when compared to some of the
more modern classics, it’s still a high point of the era.
